I have used this navigation bar on my web sites, also. (see: http://www.carib.com/sitetouch/info.html) The Nav Bar parameters are controlled by the CSS code in the document and the navbar.js file that comes with the bar.
The CSS code in your document control the width and height of the bar. But not the position. You will probably find those control commands in the navbar.js file. I have not looked into them yet but I am sure, if you are experienced with JavaScript, you can change those commands to your needs.
Have a look and make it happen!

To strictly position it you need to use a placer image. All of this is explained in the navbar's tutorial. If you can't find it on DynamicDrive, look for it at brainjar.com which is the homepage of the script.

Side note for Chris : Brainjar no longers holds its previous DHTML examples - it's gone for pure IE5.5/NS 6 stuff now, and Mike has explicitly stated that he no longer has the examples on the site nor will he answer questions regarding them.

I recall that with the latest version of the navbar you could center the menus inside the JScript file, so it (theoretically) is a matter of editing the JScript file and finding it somewhere (Mike usually comments each section very well).

I'm javascript illiterate...document.write is about as far as I have gotten so far. The navcond.js file that comes with the script is a mess to read because all the spaces are taken out. I have the file at http://www.collegeteacher.org/navcond.js if anyone would like to take a stab at it.

The files are referenced correctly in relation to the page. They are actually in the top level directory. I copied them into the dynamicmenu directory in case anyone wanted to look at them. Here's what I got in Netscape:

I temporarily got around the problem by aligning the table to the left (see http://www.collegeteacher.org/web_pa...gn/week1.shtml ). It's not what I really want, but it will do for now. Looks fine in msie, but in netscape there is a small border around the table, even with the body margin set to 0px.

You know, I used to just love netscape and hate IE. Now I grudgingly have to use it for a lot of things. NS better get with the program or they are going to lose out altogether! Too many things just don't work in NS. I haven't tried the 6.0 yet. I want to wait till they work out the bugs.

Anyway, I'm still looking for a way to center the menu bar in the middle of the page. If anyone wants to take a look at the files mentioned above and offer wisdom, I'd be greatful!
